1. SATELLITE

You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
You won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit
And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it

[Chorus:]
That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has
You can't understand what lays ahead
If you don't understand the past
You'll never learn to fly now
'Til you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

[Chorus:]
That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

She told me that she never could face the world again
So I offered up a plan

(x2)
We'll sneak out while they sleep
And sail off in the night.
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.
When we're gone we'll stay gone.
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's not too late,
We have the rest of our lives.

The rest of our lives

[Chorus:]
Because we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me (shine your light on me)

No, we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny (shine your light on me)
I'm passing over you like a satellite
'Cause these are the things that we can't deny now
This is a life that you can't deny us now


2. SAVIOR (LIVE FROM HOUSE OF BLUES, BOSTON)

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy.
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have."

And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"

One thousand miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world has too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her "I love you, girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"

I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no


3. 1000 GOOD INTENTIONS (LIVE FROM HOUSE OF BLUES, BOSTON)

It's all the same thing
Now that it ever was
Except now you've strayed too far
Need you to stop digging your hole
And follow the path we light
Don't need an invitation to be reconciled
'cause these home fires are burning
Stare into your empty eyes and wonder...
"How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
You spent your time making excuses
For the ways of life that you are choosing
"How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
Not sure exactly where I am

The more we organize
We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind
You wanna take the passion in my veins
And put it down in black & white
You've got your foot directly on the gas
I watch you burn out so fast
Now I can see just what you've become
And "How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And "How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
Not sure exactly where I am

(One!) one thousand
(Good!) intentions
(Lost!) translation
(Lost!) forever

(One!) one thousand
(Good!) intentions
(Lost!) translation
(Lost!) forever lost

"How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And "How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
Not sure exactly where I am
Where I am
